A Belgian exchange student did jump to his death according to the authorities in the Philippines.

According to notes which was found in the students room, he spoke of weakness.

It is important to understand that some students cannot make it the full year and because exchange student trips are expensive they may hesitate asking to return home before time. They will maybe be ashamed that they have cost their family a lot of money without being able to complete the stay.

It is important to state to your child before the traveling that you as a parent does not consider a premature return as a defeat.
